Are you ready for an unforgettable family experience that combines adventure and tranquility amidst natural beauty? We can’t wait to share our discovery with you: the campsite “Les Rives du Lac” in the Hautes Alpes. A true pearl that has completely thrilled us!
The Hautes Alpes are a hidden gem in France’s picturesque northern Provence region, delighting hikers, nature lovers and adventurers alike. From the breathtaking alpine peaks, lush meadows and deep blue lakes, to the picturesque villages with their typical southern French charm – the Hautes Alpes are a true paradise for outdoor activities and nature enjoyment.



And in the middle of this natural idyll you will find the campsite “Les Rives du Lac”. This campsite scores with its family friendliness and close proximity to nature. The spacious pitches offer sufficient privacy and the site is car-free – a boon for those seeking peace and security. Cars are allowed only on arrival and departure, in between they park in the covered, video-monitored and fenced parking spaces in front of the campsite. Particularly ingenious: The roofs of the parking lots are equipped with photovoltaic systems that supply several charging stations for electric cars.

Well, it’s time to talk about the many opportunities for children and youth! The campsite has two children’s playgrounds that will make every child’s heart beat faster. The one playground is located in the camping area number 2 and is especially suitable for small children. The second playground, located right next to the restaurant, offers great play opportunities for all ages. Here the children can romp around while mom and dad dine comfortably in the restaurant and keep an eye on their offspring. For the older children and teenagers there is a special zone near the pool. Here they expect a slackline, table football and a chill zone. Thus, every age has its suitable retreat and all family members get their money’s worth.



Right outside the door of the campsite is a beautiful lake. Pleasantly warm in summer, it offers not only pure swimming fun, but also a free water bouncy castle and kayaks for free use. Here, especially our children have been able to live out their thirst for adventure.
To round off the day perfectly, a visit to the in-house restaurant is worthwhile. With its friendly staff, delicious food and good drink selection, it’s a real insider tip. An absolute highlight is the pizza straight from the stone oven – crispy, delicious and just the thing after a day full of adventure!


To make your stay as pleasant as possible, the campsite “Les Rives du Lac” offers its own app. Here you can find all the important information, reserve baked goods for the next day and order fresh vegetables directly from the regional farmer. A real plus for comfort and sustainability!
To cool down or simply relax, there is a small but nice swimming pool with outdoor and indoor areas. We were particularly impressed by the modern and family-friendly washhouse: the unisex areas and family showers make daily washing particularly convenient for families. And, of course, the entire square is barrier-free.



A highlight of our trip was the canyoning tour, which we could book directly at the reception of the campsite. An exciting voyage of discovery through the gorges and rivers of the Hautes Alpes that not only provided adrenaline rushes for us adults, but also sparkled the eyes of our children!
